Downfall is that I have to get a BT line and this could be expensive if there has never been a BT line in your house before. In mine there was but this was many, many years ago, so we may have to end up paying 124.99!!!!! Which I am not happy about - any ideas how to lower this cost?

You dont need a BT line to get sky, but you do for internet.

Call up VM, and ask them what they can do about internet again - i got a stonker of a deal with them, so i know they give good deals on the 10mb lines - but sky is best for tv

hi, we are happy with the deal with got ie a whole load more for same money, i really dont want to deal with BT if i have to as i have awful customer service in the past and dont want to have to shell out for a new line put in and also have to pay £99 upfront for a sky plus box etc...this way outside equipment stays the same, bill dates the same, no mucking with companies changing etc plus for sky you have to have BT and sky come out with virgin its just one to get the box...dont mind a few quid more a mth for less upfront if u get my drift

thanks everyone though

Well, you dont need to go to BT for phone if you want Sky TV, nor do you have to pay £99 for sky+ box.

I got my HD box for £149, free install - and when i got my box, they were doing Sky+ for £49.

Go to comet, and find out what they would charge you. Also, call up Sky CS and just tell them that you are with VM and want to move but cant pay £99 for box - they might give you a deal, OR look on ebay, as there are loads of sky+ boxes, old and new, for less than £50

Sky imo is best between VM and sky for PQ, ive got both, sky wins imo

Thats not a bad deal!! - TV is free anyway, talk unlimited usually is £25 and 2mb internet should be £18 so less than half price! How long is the offer on the account for though, as it could be 3 months, 6 months, 1 year or longer

They did say she had to stay for at least a year - not a problem as far as we're concerned!

She was on a really cr4p deal before this. Quite annoying that they don't try to offer anything unless you push them. But thats business I suppose
